4:50 Newmarket: Hunt Family Fund Handicap Stakes

Arctic Dawn Billy Loughnane · Daniel & Claire Kubler

Arctic Dawn won two starts back but was beaten into eighth last time out, and at 37 days off there are fitness questions to answer; has run over today's trip and going, yet 137 lb from stall 10 makes life no easier for this 102-rated gelding.

Five Ways Jason Watson · Andrew Balding

Winless in his last six starts, Five Ways nonetheless heads the ratings and brings distance and going experience to the table; carrying 136 lb from stall 11, the 35-day absence looks sharp enough, and a rating of 109 marks him as the one to beat.

Native American Jack Mitchell · Hamad Al Jehani

Native American shaped with real promise when second two starts back and has experience over today's trip and going, with a rating of 104 suggesting he holds strong claims here; the chief concern is a 204-day absence.

Addison Grey Rossa Ryan · Clive Cox

Addison Grey landed a win two starts back and has experience of both today's trip and going, giving him a solid foundation from stall thirteen off 132 lb; the fourth last time out is the one to explain away before he can be trusted to deliver.

The Fingal Raven Saffie Osborne · Jamie Osborne

Winless in his last six starts, The Fingal Raven does show a second two starts back to suggest ability, though the subsequent seventh is a concern; he has run over today's trip and going, carries 127 lb from stall seven, and returns quickly on just seven days' rest.

Aqpan Ray Dawson · Roger Varian

Aqpan showed he knows how to win when landing the spoils six starts back, and he has experience over today's trip and going to call on from stall three carrying 126 lb; the main concern is a sequence of unplaced efforts in recent starts.

Huscal Marco Ghiani · Charles Hills

Ranked tenth of twelve on our figures and with a speed rating of 81 that leaves him well below the principals on ratings, Huscal is hard to fancy at the weights despite back-to-back wins in his most recent starts and the experience of having run over today's trip and going.

Utmost Good Faith Jack Doughty · Stuart Williams

Three unplaced runs on the spin make Utmost Good Faith hard to fancy, and a trainer firing at just 4% over the past fortnight compounds the concern; he has run over today's trip and going before, and a 20-day break from stall one at 122 lb at least leaves little to query on freshness or weight.

Rocking Ends David Egan · Tom Clover

Placed third last time out and a winner five starts back, Rocking Ends has run over today's trip and going before and arrives on a quick seven-day turnaround, though his inconsistent recent form — including two fifth-place finishes — gives reason for caution from stall 12 off 121 lb.

Sword Olivia Haines(7) · Stuart Williams

Winless in his last six starts and ranked ninth of twelve on our figures, Sword is hard to fancy, his trainer in a 1-from-24 rut recently; experience over today's trip and going, a return after 21 days, and a second two starts back offer slim positives.

Dapper Guest Jack Nicholls(3) · George Margarson

Ranked last of the 12 on our figures and rated 5 lb below his official mark, Dapper Guest faces a stiff ask, though back-to-back wins in his last two starts give him a genuine form boost and he has experience of today's trip and conditions.
